FEM-IE Hybrid Methods for Electrically Large Antenna System Design

From Dimensions of Electronic Design Seminar, 2012:
ANSYS HFSS 15.0 includes new enhancements of the Hybrid Finite Element and Integral Equation Method, providing an efficient solution for electromagnetically large models with complex sources. Radiators comprised of mixed material types are modeled seamlessly across solve domain methodologies. In this work, we will present the hybrid features, and demonstrate how and where to apply these new features to improve the efficiency and capacity for various applications.
